Hello and Welcome . I believe the short simple answere is NO . There are added gears internally and reverse shift linkage plus I believe there will be a good bit of wiring magic added to control the electric motor circuit and saftey concerns .

i expect you will have more replies soon . Might just be best to look for an Aspencade or SE

Yes. The answer is NO.
You could remove the Interstate and add an SE or Aspencade.
That should solve it. But you will be giving up the Aux in to your radio for it.

thanks for the replies,
I really love the bike and dont want to part with it but im getting a bit old to be reversing it manually . could i have it converted to a trike and turn it into an SE or aspencade at the same time...if so does anyone know who can do this for me in ireland or the uk

You won't be able to add the reverse to an Interstate. An uncle of mine had one and scoured the GWRRA and here for info and came away with the opinion that it just can't be done.

I am afraid your best option is going to be to sell the Interstate and buy an SE trike with it on.

The added expence to even think about converting your interstate would be prohibitive.

A warm welcome to the site by the way, very good to have you join us. :waving::waving:

look at this site before you get rid of your bike

this trike kit puts the reverse on the drive shaft when you install this kit

just an idea if you look hard enough you will find what your looking for

You may like your interstate, but you would love the SE even more. Sort of like having a new girl friend that is stacked with more toys to play with.
